Florentina Holzinger's Radical Stage Reinvention at Thaddaeus Ropac Salzburg Halle
Contemporary art often occupies a quiet space, designed to comfort or gently move its viewers. Yet the most striking artistic practices of our time choose a different path, opting to unsettle our certainties and invite complex questions rather than simple resolutions. This uncompromising approach to live performance is the focus of an in-depth feature recently highlighted in CC/Magazine, examining the visionary work of Austrian choreographer and performer Florentina Holzinger.
